Read Weird Tales

Weird Tales is and always has been a tangle. Nobody ever seems to know who owns the magazine, licensing for the magazine or the name of the magazine, or the contents of the magazine. Many issues of Weird Tales are apparently in the public domain. Likewise many of the stories and much of the art. Who wants to dive into this tangle, though? In its original run, there were 279 issues and hundreds, if not a thousand or more, stories and articles. There were also many hundreds of illustrations. A person could spend his whole working life trying to untangle all of it. Apparently some have already had a go at it and have posted whole issues on line. So, if you want to read whole issues of Weird Tales, you might try these websites:

I have used this website before. Sometimes I could read the thing I was looking for and sometimes not. I think it could have to do with copyrights in our respective countries. (The Unz Review is based in New Zealand.) Anyway, if you can get through, you will find whole issues from 1942 to 1954. Thanks to Carrington Dixon for the addition.
